Original Abstract Submitted
A method for controlling battery banks may include measuring bank voltages of the battery banks, determining a first contact resistance of one or more internal resistance components for each of the battery banks, determining a second contact resistance of one or more external resistance components for each of the battery banks, determining a contact resistance for each of the battery banks based on the first contact resistance and the second contact resistance, determining each of compensation bank voltages by subtracting a voltage drop due to a corresponding one of the contact resistances from a respective one of the bank voltages, and controlling the battery banks based on at least one of the bank voltages and the compensation bank voltages. The method may be performed by a battery control system. A battery system using the method is also provided.
